Electrical Engineering/Communications/Information Theory "The
Berlekamp article alone will make this book worth having." --David
Forney, Vice President, Motorola Codex Reed-Solomon Codes and Their
Applications Edited by Stephen B. Wicker, Georgia Institute of
Technology and Vijay K. Bhargava, University of Victoria On the
Voyager spacecraft, they were responsible for sending clear
pictures of the planets back to earth. They have also played a key
role in the digital audio revolution. They are Reed-Solomon error
codes: the extremely powerful codes that provide critical error
control for many different types of digital communications systems.
This outstanding collection of thirteen original articles written
by leading researchers in the field provides a uniquely
comprehensive overview of the history and practical
applications--some never before published--of these important
codes. Key features include:
- Thirteen original articles from leading researchers in the
field, with a historical overview by Reed and Solomon
- An explanation of how Reed-Solomon codes were used in the
Voyager spacecraft and how they are currently used in the compact
disc player
- Specific applications for digital audio, data transfer over
mobile radio, satellite communications, spread spectrum systems,
and more
- New techniques for improving the performance of your own
communications systems
This book will be of interest to design and research engineers in
the telecommunications field, particularly those in the
aerospace/satellite and mobile radio industries. It is also
well-suited for use as an advanced-level textbook on the subject of
error control coding. Books of Related Interest from IEEE
